Hey all, Well I've been working on this SR20DET install for about a month and a half now and it seems like after I fix one problem 2 more pop in it's place... kind of like fighting off Medusa! I was having oil pressure problems so I took off my oil pan and sure enough the pickup line was pressed into the pan... so no big deal just get a new pan and problem solved! But now that I have awesome oil pressure I found out a new problem. Oil is pouring out from behind my crankshaft pulley. My buddy and I took out the crankshaft pulley and thought it was just a seal but we discovered a HOLE in my front cover.... it's pretty damn big, enough to put your pinky in there. Anyhow, it looks like I'm going to have to buy a new front cover. Any idea how that could have happened?? Just some background, we replaced the crank pulley with an unorthodox pulley when we started this project.

On to what I really wanted to talk about. When we were in there we discovered I somehow lost my woodruff key and this metal circle thing that guides the seal in there was broken. I have attached a picture. Can anyone tell me where I can get a new one of these? Thanks for all your help. My search for peace and a perfect running car continues...

Can anyone tell me the OEM size for the woodruff key that goes on the crankcraft and holds the crank pulley into place? It looks like almost half a full moon. Look in the picture above...

Umm...try hitting up the dealer and use a US spec SR key? Ask around, maybe somebody got an extra one laying around from an extra blown block.
